[SlugButter]

Have a 15 inch coming for my personal build. Figured I’d get a head start.

I think you need more clamps

Are those corners built from individually cut and stacked pieces? Hard to tell from zooming in.

Coming along well mate! Looks like 2.5 - 3 cu feet box. You may have to apply internal bracing depending on the power you are going to run mate.

Yes.

For sure using bracing. Will also have some leds inside and a volt meter on the box. I should end up at around 2.8 cubes after displacement.

Yes.

Holy mackerel.
Have you considered overlays that don’t meet at the corner, and using a hardwood quarter round, or does this make for a stronger box?
That must take forever to make (unless you’re lucky enough to have CNC or other automated cutting).

It makes the baffle very strong the way it’s locked in to the T on the back side. I don’t have a CNC machine. After I get the first few cut out I use them as a guide and use a flush trim router bit to just zip them out 3 at a time. Took me about 3 hours to do the corners for this one, and I have a few extra left over.

Patience. LOTS of patience.

What made you go sealed? Space constraints?

Kind of. I will likely do a ported box also. I don't have TS parameters yet for this sub however. Not sure when Klippel will get the results to him. Don't want to build a ported box until I can model it.

Swear to god I was gonna say that.
